We will be handing out awards at our annual CSW business meeting so please come join us.

This year’s Mentoring & Networking Luncheon will be Saturday, Aug. 6, 12:15-1:30 p.m. If you have not signed up yet for the luncheon, you can still do so when you pick up your registration materials in Minneapolis or when you register for the conference online. The fee is $48.

There has been a change in speakers: Mark Kappelhoff was recently appointed to be a state judge, so he cannot participate as speaker as planned. Therefore, John Choi, Ramsey County Attorney, will be speaking instead. He has led Minnesota’s most successful human trafficking busts, resulting in the longest sentences for pimps in

Minnesota history.

Tania Cantrell Rosas-Moreno is our second speaker. She is an assistant professor in Latin American and Latino Studies at Loyola University Maryland, an expert in international communication, and especially engaged with social justice issues at the intersection of feminism and education. She is also the winner of the 2016 CSW Mary Ann Yodelis Smith Award for Feminist Scholarship!

This luncheon is going to be fantastic, we hope that many of you can make it. We are looking forward to seeing you at the 2016 CSW Mentoring & Networking Luncheon!

people serve as co-chairs for some of these positions, and it was a great way to share the workload. Please note that Vice Chair and Research Chair will all have training meetings and an orientation breakfast on Sunday.

Positions include:

Vice Chair: Organizes all of the panels in addition to other tasks dealing with the annual conference. The Research Chair usually moves up to Vice Chair because the positions build on one another, but this does not have to be the case.

Research Chair: Organizes all of the paper submissions and reviews for the competitive paper competition.

Midwinter Research Chair: Organizes papers and reviews for the paper competition for the midwinter conference. The submissions are much lower for this conference, so this is an easy way to learn about the research chair role.

Secretary: This person must be at the summer conference as the secretary takes notes at the

4

annual meeting and submits the meeting minutes for consideration.

Newsletter Editor: The Newsletter Editor organizes content and designs the newsletter for our members. We had two people share this job this year.

Ad-hoc Social Media Chair: This position maintains our various social media platforms and works to build our following and our presence across multiple social media platforms. We also had multiple people doing this job this year.

If you are not going to be at the conference this year but would like to run for a position anyway, send us a brief, one-paragraph explanation for why you would like the particular job for which you’re running. All self nominations should be sent to either Jaime Loke at [email protected] or Jennifer Vardeman-Winter at [email protected].

I also highly encourage everyone to join us at the CSW luncheon in Minneapolis. It is a great place to network with other CSW members and find support with senior CSW members.

Please note that there has been a change in CSW’s keynote speaker for our annual luncheon. Our original speaker, Mark Kappelhoff, was recently appointed to serve as a Minnesota state court judge, and his appointment limits his public appearances and the programs he can participate in. His appointment has even affected what he is able to teach at The University of Minnesota where he is currently a faculty member. Unfortunately because of this appointment, Mark needed to decline his original acceptance of his invitation to speak at our luncheon.

But with Mark’s help, we

4

have found a great replacement to take his place. Ramsey County Attorney, Mr. John Choi, who has led the largest human trafficking sting(s) in Minnesota, has very kindly agreed to be the speaker. According to

5

John Choi’s biography online, he “made history on January 3, 2011, when he was sworn in as the first Korean-American Chief Prosecutor in the nation. As the Ramsey County Attorney, John leads a public law and prosecution office of 325 staff with a $39 million budget in the most diverse county in the state, which includes the capital, Saint Paul.

Since taking office, John has become a state and national leader in the fight against sex trafficking. John’s innovative approach to holding abusers accountable, while working collaboratively with advocacy agencies to help victims, has transformed the way government intervenes in domestic violence and sex trafficking situations.”

We are excited to have him on board and we hope you are too. Space is limited so don’t forget to sign up for CSW’s luncheon!

As always, CSW would love to hear from you so please reach out to us via Facebook, Twitter or email with any suggestions or ideas you have for us. I hope to see everyone in Minneapolis!

AEJMC Pre-Convention Workshops Surviving and Thriving in the Academy

Wed., Aug. 3, 1-5 p.m. This fourth annual program is designed to help junior women faculty members move forward in their careers through mentoring, networking and preparing for tenure and/or administration or other leadership positions. It is designed for tenure-track women, but some exceptions may be made.

Speakers include senior scholars and administrators and women colleagues who have achieved significant leadership positions in their careers. Julianne Newton, Edwin L. Artzt Interim Dean and professor of visual communication, School of Journalism and Communication, University of Oregon, will keynote the workshop. In addition to the training and networking at this workshop, participants, who will be designated Kopenhaver Fellows, will be invited to take part in activities of both the CSW and the Kopenhaver Center during the year and receive publications of both groups. They will also be invited to reunite with previous cohorts to network at subsequent conventions.

Teaching Online Media & Diversity Classes: Pitfalls & Unique Opportunities

Wed., Aug. 3, 1-5 p.m.

1

Many college journalism instructors have experienced the challenge of teaching and discussing often sensitive and provocative issues such as media depiction of race, gender, class and sexual orientation. Some instructors also have noted that teaching media and diversity classes totally online, has its own set of challenges and unique rewards, often distinct from the face-to-face class setting. Primarily women and people of color teach courses focusing on multiculturalism and media. You will be hard pressed, for example, to find a heterosexual White male journalism administrator who has taught a media and diversity course.

A concern is that since at most schools these courses are taught by faculty of color, women and perhaps a handful of White men, administrators often may not have sufficient familiarity to relate to the challenges of teaching them. Another possible trepidation, is that some instructors teach large online media and diversity classes of several hundreds students that can intensify already sensitive course material interpretation, particularly with the intense pressure at

As your 2015-2016 research chair, I owe a big shout out to all of this year’s competitive paper reviewers. Every single review was in on time. Thank you to everyone! You all are fantastic, and I love working with you all and getting to know you more every year.

This year’s competitive paper competition was a success with 35 total submissions, only one of which received a desk reject. Of the papers that made it to judging, 16 were by faculty, and 19 were by students. Many of our student submissions were co-authored with faculty, which shows that our CSW senior members are doing some strong mentoring for our graduate students. We accepted 19 of the 34 papers this year.

One of the biggest successes of this competition

THE BEST IN GENDER RESEARCH Competitive paper panels include latest research on women in

communication, children/adolescents, and violence against women

was the judging process itself. Our CSW members came together to do the peer review process, with 53 members volunteering to review papers. All but four of those reviewers were faculty. This meant that I could guarantee that every submission received two reviews, and every reviewer received no more than three papers, with many people receiving two.

We have some incredible competitive paper panels this time, including a panel on professional women in communication, a panel on media framing of violence against women, and a panel on children and adolescents using media. Be sure to show up to our scholar-to-scholar session on Thursday at 5 p.m. to hear some fascinating research on Monica Lewinsky, framing of soldiers in Stars and Stripes, and celebrity lifestyle brands on Pinterest.

Make special note of our graduate student top papers panel on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. Please put this panel on your schedule and show up to support our rising academic stars! All of these papers are unique and show the creative thinking that our students are putting into analyzing the big problems of our time.

This panel will discuss critical challenges and unique opportunities in teaching online media and diversity courses, including a look at sensitive instructor experiences; rewarding and unique instructor experiences; ways to use social media in the course curriculum; U.S. social history awareness challenges for students located across the globe, the traditional 15-week versus 6-7 week course module; class size impact (from modest enrollments to MOOCs); “killing the messenger” influence on teacher evaluations; elective compared to required course factors, administrative support, and more.
